The Old Hero, Oblivious of Surroundings,

Washington Spe cial-
General Sherman, always a center of attrac-
ton in all the gatherings he attends seems not
realize that the eyes OF everybody present
are conferred upon him, and that every movement
of his is noted. At the gathering in the Congre-
gational Church, last week. General Sherman oc-
cupied seat in the center of the stage along
side of old War Governor Curtin, of Pennsyl-
vana. These two old r-horses, seemingly
wholly obivious of their surroundings kept mp
a constant and lively gossip between themselves
all the evening, to the ANNOYANCE of orators and
singers. in what they innocently imagined were
whispered tones. but which were in reality base
notes, distinctly audible to be heard in all
parts of the house. Those on the stage. or close
to the two gossiping old men. must have heard
what they were talking about too, the faces
of hundreds fortunately so favored were con-
stantly wreathed in smiles, while once or twice
their owners burst into involuntary laughter
General Sherman would get off some good story
on Curtin, Curtin would strike back at the
General. The stately brother and dignified
Senator Sherman glanced reprovineiy at his
older brother but it had effect at all in quiet
ing him, and only served to amuse the surround
ing crowd of veterans, who witnessed the futile
efforts TO suppress old Tecumseh.

A FULFILLING CASE.

Complications Growing Out of an Indianian's
Application for Pension.
Washington Special.
William Hedgespeth. of Company Fl, Forty
second Indiana Volunteers has laid before Sec
rotary Lamar question of law equity in
pensions that is fully puzzline as the csle-
erated Guilford Miller land case. and of far more
pecuniary Importance to the government. Mr..
Hedgespeth was captured in of the early
battles of the war and was sent to Andersonville
prison. He passed through all of the well-known
horrors of that pen. and was with other Union
offered his liberty provided he would enter
the confederate army. This was refused by him
several times until. he says he got SO weak from
starvation that sure death stared him in the face
if he remained. He then accepted the confed-
crate proposition and joined the rebel army, but
deserted afterward to the Union forces and
served out his term. He suffers disabilities on
account of his privations at Andersonville and
asks for pension. General Black drew the law
him and refused him pension on the ground
that he had given laid and comfort to the enemy
in time of war; and such persons the law forbids
a pension Mr.. Hedgespeth appealed. and ar
gued that his case was good one because, while
he had voluntarily joined the enemy, he had
done so for the simple purpose of saving his life
and getting back to the Union forces The
board of pension appeals, which examines these
cases for the Secretary, overrued Mr. Black and
unanimously granted Hedgespeth pension.
Assistant Secretary Hawkins, who signs the APP
pealed pensions decisions as acting Secretary.
refused to sign this and reversed the board
of appeals, taking General Blacks view OF the
case The board then carried the case to Secre
tary Lamar. and he has been puzzling over it
for three months. Four more cases of like char
acter have followed, and now General Black
says they are all frauds, even if they have
plausible case. Said Secretary Hawkins, to-
day: "These men say thew would have died Ii
they had stayed in Andersonvlle. How do
they know that That is pure hypothesis, and
we cannot act such testimony. Other men

Preparations for tbe Constitutional Celebra-
ton In the Fall.
Philadelphia Record.
One hundred years ago yesterday the federal
convention which prepared the Constitution of
the United States was opened in the old State
house. General George Washington presided,
and after daily sessions extending a period
of four months the work was completed. Nearly
a year has now elapsed since the first step was
taken toward fitting celebration of the centen-
NAL anniversary of the PRONUNCIATION OF the in
strument framed by that convention Since
then much has been done to insure the success
of the movement, and at convention composed
of representatives from the States and Terri
tories, which met in this city December g
1885, q programme of celebration agreed
upon. AS now outlined the plan provides for
a meeting of the Governors of the thirteen
original States in Independence Hall at IL o'clock
on Wednesday, Sept IA next. with their staffs
and commissioners, there to receive the Gov
ernors of the other States and Territories, with
their stats and commissioners The manage
ment of the celebration will then be passed over
to the commissioners selected by the Governors
of the respective States and Territories for that
purpose. On the 18th there will be grand
parade of the combined military and naval
of the United States and the militia of the
several States. The procession will be reviewed
by the President. in the presence of his Cabinet,
the Supreme Court of the United States. mem
bers of Congress- department. representatives
and foreign ambassadors. The next day, the
10TH there will be grand civic procession and
industrial display On the 18th the celebration
will terminate with Grafton and poem,
companied by appropriate ceremonies COM
memorative of the signing of the Constitution.
The other States of the Union moving in a
direction to be literally and creditably repre-
septed on this occasion, but they look naturally
to Pennsylvania to take the initiative. bill
appropriatine $50. 900 for the celebration passed
the House on the 9th inst, but it is the intention
to have an amendment introduced by the Senate
and concurred in by the House, increasing the
appropriation to 100000, and authorizing the
Governor of Pennsylvania to invite the Gov
ernors of the other States and their stats and
ia different
guests of this State during the four days of the
celebration. The citizens upon whom the details
of the movement have devolved are satisfied
that less than 500, 600 will not be sufficient for
the purposes of a grand celebration covering
period of four days, during which the State of
PENNSYLVANIA will be the host of the Nation.

Enslishmen Not So Rich as Reported.

LIVERPOOL COurIer-
One fact revealed by Mr.. Goschen is very in
teresting. There were. he stated ninety-five
persons in England with an income over $50, 900.
1t is almost impossible for ordinary people to
understand what that income means. Is is n
thousand a week; it is more than f140 day;
1t is as nearly as possible f6 an hour. A man
with more than 100000 q year spend
ten pound note whenever the clock strikes
during what may be called his working hours,
and he will only be living up to his income. He
IS not only rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
but rich beyond what one would imagine would
be person al convenience. The fact that there
are nearly one hundred such persons in England
have Mr.. Goschen's list of them; or. better still,
to appoint royal commission to investigate the
use which they make OF their money.

why. down there at Eastport, Me-, where
the dividing line from New Brunswick is
merely a river, we have host of fishermen
who have been in the habit of going out to
catch their fish on the expanse OF the ocean
without hindrance. The British fishermen
to this day come into our harbors to suffer no
annoyance. But every now and then little
firt of a gun-boat begins to chase American
fishermen. Ali that is necessary to do is for
man like myself to go down there, put a little
gun on one of those fishing vessels, and just give
them hell. The first shot will be half the bust

you you will hear that shot some day while Mr..
